READING PRACTICE

Good  Food

My wife and I occasionally go to a nice restaurant to eat. 
My wife’s mother lives with us and she stays with the children. 
This makes it very easy for us to go out for the evening.

Last week we went to the restaurant in a new hotel. 
We had a wonderful  meal.
First we had a soup and a salad. 
Then Helen, my wife,  had lamb chops with peas and carrots,  
and I had a medium rare steak with mashed potatoes and plenty of gravy.

For dessert  I had some ice cream and Helen had fresh fruit.
We had several cups of coffee after we finished eating.
The food was delicious,  the portions were generous,  and  it wasn’t  too  expensive.

Our children don’t like to eat in restaurants because they have to sit and be quiet for a long time. 
They would rather go to their grandmother’s farm. 
Their grandmothers – my mother – prepares everything they like.
She usually has fried chicken,  corn,  and  hot biscuits with honey.
She usually serves plenty of chocolate ice cream  and cake for dessert.

I’m always surprised that my father doesn’t weigh a lot more when I see how much he eats.
But he works very hard on the farm from about 5 o’clock in the morning until it gets dark in the evening.

When my parents visit us in the city,  we usually take them to a restaurant.
I know they enjoy it,  but my father always eats something else after he gets home.
The portions may be generous in the restaurant,  but they are still not large enough for a hungry farmer.

 

Questions

1         Where did my wife and I eat last week?

2           Who stays with our children when we go out?

3         What did I eat?                What did my wife eat?

4         Why do you think  the children enjoy eating their grandmother’s food more than going to a restaurant?

5         Why doesn’t my father get fat?

6         How long does my father work every day?

7         Why does my father eat again right after hes comes back from a restaurant?

Dialog 1

Dorothy – D       Tom – T

D:           I’m on a diet because I want to lose weight. 
I think I’ll just have a bowl of soup and some crackers.

T:            That’s not enough for me. I’ve been working hard this morning and I’m really hungry.
I’ll have the complete dinner – fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes, 
and  apple pie  with  ice cream  for dessert.

D:           U think, I’ll have that, too.

T:            But I thought you were on a diet?

D:           I’ll start tomorrow.

 

 

 

Dialog 2

W – waiter;        M  - guest – madam, miss

W:          Would you like some dessert now, miss?

M:          I’d like  to see the menu again,  please.

W:          Here you are, miss.        The chocolate cake is delicious.

M:          No, thanks.  I don’t  like chocolate.         I’d rather have the strawberry pie.

W:          I’m afraid there isn’t any  more.

M:          Then I’ll have vanilla ice cream.

W:          I’m sorry, but that’s gone too.

M:          How about some fresh fruit?

W:          We don’t have any fresh fruit today.     All we have chocolate cake.

M:          I’ll just have coffee,  please.

W:          Fine.      I’ll  bring it right away.
